Do not be afraid.

And I ask, well, what's there to be afraid of if I'm gonna be following you?

I mean, everything's taken care of.

It's gonna be great every day.

Why would I be afraid?

And the answer is, is because if you follow Jesus as a disciple,

You aren't going to go and meet people you never thought you would meet.

You're going to be in situations you never thought you would be in, and you're going to do things and say things that you never—it's not my gift.

And one thing I've learned, Father, is that in the kingdom of God, to be a disciple doesn't have a lot to do with giftedness.

It has to do with passion and relationship.

And so for me, to get deep into Scripture is to really—

get close to Jesus, our Lord, and to find out what do you want me to do?

And then to know I've got the power to do it.

And so my hope is that there'll be thousands and thousands of people who will go beyond reading, listening, and they'll do it.

And we'll see a movement in the world of people are saying, you know what?

I want to enter this story.

I don't want to just read about it.

I want in, which is through the sacraments.

I want in.

I want to be empowered.
